Safer homes start here.

Whether you’re a landlord making required repairs or a homeowner looking to create a healthier place to live, the LeadSAFE Loan provides an affordable way to complete eligible lead remediation projects through Good Neighbors Credit Union.

 

 

Investing in safer homes and stronger neighborhoods.

Creating healthier housing is good for families and for our community. That’s why Good Neighbors Credit Union has partnered with Lead Safe Buffalo to offer the LeadSAFE Loan, making lead remediation more accessible for Buffalo homeowners and landlords. 

How the LeadSAFE Loan works.

The LeadSAFE Loan is designed specifically to help cover the cost of eligible lead remediation projects.

Benefits:

  • No property collateral required
  • Competitive rates through an unsecured personal loan
  • Loan funds are paid directly to your approved contractor
  • A valid remediation quote from a qualified contractor is required to determine the amount needed for the project
  • Available for qualifying lead remediation work
  • The official LeadSAFE program can be a helpful resource for finding a qualified contractor and getting a remediation quote.

Landlords: Keep your properties safe and compliant. Lead-safe housing helps protect tenants and preserve your investment. If you’re making lead remediation repairs that qualify, the LeadSAFE Loan can help finance the work without adding an additional lien to the property. 

Homeowners: Create a healthier home for your family. If your home needs eligible lead remediation, the LeadSAFE Loan can help you finance improvements that create a safer place for everyone under your roof, especially young children, who are most vulnerable to lead exposure. 

*Credit union membership required. Terms and conditions depend on credit qualifications and approval. Loan is not secured by real property.

Why lead safety matters.

Many homes in Buffalo were built before lead paint was banned, making lead hazards more common than many people realize. Fortunately, lead exposure is preventable, and addressing lead hazards—including those found in paint, plumbing, and other parts of a home—can create healthier homes and safer neighborhoods.
